Easy Chocolate Croissants

We've had a busy month, and lately I've been gravitating towards simple, fast recipes that I can throw together in a pinch.

It was too late to go to the grocery store on Sunday night because I had on my comfiest pajamas and no make-up and I realized that I needed a little something to whip up for a crafty play date on Monday morning. I thought I'd share my go-to brunchie treat with you all.

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Place a small handful of chocolate chips on the bottom third of the triangle and roll the dough up around the chocolate.

Bake on a cookie sheet for 11 to 14 minutes, until golden brown. I drizzle mine with chocolate chips melted in the microwave.

These are best if you can hide them from small children and enjoy them on your own.

So simple, but how way yumm do those look? My, my, my... Where are the crescent rolls...? (I use the Wal-mart ones too, and I agree-just as good.) I can't wait for an excuse, err, um, reason to make these yummy things!

Really? Is that all there is to it? Oh, my goodness. These look absolutely yummy!

Of course, around here there are no "small children" to hide them from. The children are all considerably bigger than their mom, and it's pretty hard to hide anything from them. So maybe I should double the recipe, huh?

I love anything that starts with crescent rolls! Thanks for reminding me of this recipe--yum! I have an great recipe from a friend for "apple dumplings" that uses crescents: http://easymeals4moms.blogspot.com/2008/11/easy-apple-dumplings.html.

YES! I've done this and it is so simple, but everyone loves them. Fortunately for me, they are at every bakery here in Europe, so I don't even have to heat my oven. :) When we're in the States though and I'm craving them, this is super easy to whip up.

This is Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom of three kids, a fluffy Pomeranian, and a rambunctious German Shepherd puppy. Happily married to T. We live in Virginia, but I secretly dream of what it would be like to have a place in NYC to escape to for random girls' shopping weekends. Target is my home away from home. I stay sane by doing creative projects around my home and taking lots of pictures. Stick around for realistic inspiration...on a budget!
